Ugandan musician King Saha (Mansur Semanda) was arrested on the evening of 11 August 2026 following a dramatic raid on his apartment in Kyanja. The singer had spent the day mobilising fans and selling tickets for his “Tondeka E’Kololo Festival” scheduled for Friday, 14 August at Kololo Airstrip. Ordinary tickets were priced at UGX 20,000 and VIP at UGX 50,000. According to eyewitness accounts and videos circulating on social media, armed security personnel — described by some as JATT operatives and military police — raided the residence. Reports indicated scenes of panic, gunfire, and at least one person injured in the leg. King Saha was held at gunpoint and taken away. NUP Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya and other activists described the incident as a violent abduction and called for an end to impunity. Authorities had not issued a detailed public statement clarifying the reasons for the operation or any formal charges at the time of the initial reports. Later updates indicated that King Saha was released and visited injured members of his team. The raid, coming just three days before the scheduled performance, has raised questions about the status of the concert and the circumstances surrounding the security intervention. As of the latest information, the singer had been released. The full details of any injuries, the status of seized items, and whether the Kololo show will proceed as planned remain subject to official clarification.
